Join us for a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon as we celebrate the end of another year with our Retired Doctors Festive Lunch.
Held in the informal surrounds of Young and Jackson, this annual gathering is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends, share stories and enjoy good company over a two-course lunch with drinks.
This year, we are delighted to welcome Philip Mellett as our guest speaker.
After graduating from the University of Melbourne with an Applied Science degree and later completing a Master of Business degree at Columbia University in New York, Philip spent 15 years with a large Australian company before co-founding a data communications business that grew to operate throughout the Asia-Pacific region. At age 50, he sold the company and, with his wife, embarked on a remarkable adventure, sailing around the world one and a half times over 14 years aboard a custom-built ocean-going yacht.
Philip will share stories and reflections from this extraordinary journey, including the challenges, discoveries and experiences of life at sea.
